WCF2026:
SUMMER SCHOOL
The re-education of your palate.
THE MISSION
THE WINE + CULTURE FEST
Forget the traditional wine festival.
WC Fest 2026 is a one-day cultural campus for people who want context, not spectacle.
For the first time, we are transforming Philadelphia’s historic Bok Building into a living classroom.
Each floor serves a purpose.
Each experience builds understanding.
This is where wine, food, history, and Black cultural legacy meet.
Study the craft.
Celebrate the heritage.
Carry it forward.
Volunteer with Wine & Culture Fest
Be part of the team behind Wine & Culture Fest 2026. Volunteers support event operations, guest experience, and on-site coordination. This is a great opportunity to contribute, connect, and experience the festival from the inside.
Cook With Us for R.I.C.E.
R.I.C.E. is our love letter to diaspora food. This is for the chefs who know rice is never “just rice,” it’s memory, survival, celebration, and culture on a plate. If your cooking is rooted in heritage, storytelling, and community, we want you in the kitchen with us.
